RE: Dress Code

As professionals, our appearance indicated a certain expectation to the patients and clients that we serve. For this

reason, Psychiatry staff must dress professionally.

Professional office attire is required for everyone except for Lab Personnel. Professional office attire is defined as

button-up shirts, golf shirts, skirts, sweaters, dresses and slacks. It does not include items such as low cut blouses,

extremely short skirts, t-shirts or shorts. Additionally, appropriate footwear (dress shoes and stockings and/or socks and

dress shoes) is required for staff with patient contact. Front Desk staff and Nurses are to wear uniforms/scrubs.

The Psychiatry Department has a tradition of “Casual Friday”. I would like to see this continue. All staff may

choose to wear jeans and sneakers. However, individuals still must be professional in their appearance – and the jeans

must be neat with not rips, tears, holes, etc.

This Internal Department Policy is to be effective the date of this memorandum. Should you have any questions

regarding this matter, please feel free to contact me. Thank you for your immediate cooperation and attention to this

policy.
